I always love this newsletter. I did read the article in Lit Magazine, and I also went to the other two pieces you included. Thank you so much for sharing those. I had two questions. I was interested in looking into becoming a reader for a magazine. How do you volunteer for that and what experience are they looking for? I would like to become more involved. Also, I would like to write a poem about the most beautiful word in the English language (in my opinion). Would I post that in comments? Thanks very much Mark and thank you for all you do. Sara
Glad you looked at my other LMN essays. Appreciated!!
There are always a few lit mags out there seeking readers. My suggestion though is to wait for one with a mission/ideology/aesthetic that seems like a good fit before reaching out. You can always reach out directly via the contact page (if a journal has one) to ask about volunteer positions.
I highly encourage writing the poem you mention! You can certainly share in the comments though some lit mags will consider that previous publication (partly because it will likely become searchable online) so, unfortunately, that's something to keep in mind.
